Chapter 204 - 204: Disaster Caused By the Glutton Egg!
'OH NO! This little bast*rd!' Tang Li Xue knew the situation has turned out to the worst for her, and she reflexively wanted to catch the egg back.
However, her [Spirit Perception] sensed something different. It told her something like 'It's already too late! You can't catch it anymore! Quickly hide yourself and run as far as you can before anyone notices you!'
'Dammit! What should I do now?!' Tang Li Xue gritted her teeth, but she still decided to follow what her [Spirit Perception] told her to do before.
Tang Li Xue activated her [Ethereal Form], and her slender figure vanished into thin air.
Although, all of these seemed long, but only less than half a second had passed since the glutton egg jumped out from Tang Li Xue's grasp.
The movement speed of the glutton egg was too fast, and it appeared in front of the display cabinets in an instant.
The glutton egg had sucked all of the expensive high level [Rare] grade beast cores along with all of its display cabinets in a flash. The phenomenon was extremely bizarre as if there was a small black hole that devoured them all.
The original appearance of this chapter can be found at N?v3l--Biin.
They were currently at the core area of the Auction House, so there were many crowds of foxes in human form or in fox form walking around to browse the items on display.
"Eh, how could all the beast lord's beast cores and the display cabinets here vanish just like that?!"
"Look at all of those display cabinets! I saw all the beast lord's beast cores vanished along with all of its display cabinets!"
"How could all of those beast lord's beast cores disappear in a flash? Maybe the staff decided to withdraw them and replace it with something else?"
"That's true! Maybe some rich fox buy all of it? Just how rich they are if they can buy it all?!"
"No way! I have already been eyeing for that [Three Horned Shark] beast lord's beast core since a few months ago! Is it really already been bought by someone? No, I must ask the staff first!"
After Tang Li Xue saw what happened in front of her own eyes, she did not even have any time to get surprised or baffled.
All the foxes here could not see the glutton egg since all the items from the system could not be seen or detected by the others other than Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue tried to communicate with the glutton egg and told it to come back to her, but to make it worse, the glutton egg still was not satisfied yet, and it planned to continue eating the other beast cores in this Auction House.
Tang Li Xue almost fainted when she heard the glutton egg's reply. She was no longer hesitating and instantly activated her [Shadow Flash] when several people made a ruckus about what the glutton egg did and attracting more and more crowds.
Tang Li Xue teleported to the farthest shadow she could reach and used her [Blink] skill repeatedly to go out as far as she could from the Auction House.
'Damned glutton egg! You crazy egg, if you want to do something bad like that, then don't drag me into your mess! You are on your own from now on! Whether the auction house's owner will sell, roast, or fry you, I will no longer care about you anymore!' Tang Li Xue shouted to the glutton egg through the connection in her mind.
But the glutton egg only replied in a leisure manner to Tang Li Xue, it still could not speak but it could already convey its feeling clearly, and it expressed something like: 'What a fussy mom! You don't need to worry about the great me! Just go home first and wait for me there! I will definitely come back home after I am full!'
Tang Li Xue was fuming in rage by the glutton egg's reply, and she decided to stop caring about the glutton egg's fate from now on.
While Tang Li Xue still kept using the [Blink] skill repeatedly to get back into her room as soon as she could, the glutton egg made the commotion in the Auction House bigger and bigger by devouring many rare items such as beast cores, treasures, artifacts, etc.
The egg created a huge panic when it kept devouring anything it likes in front of everyone's view, but it seemed as if the items were vanishing by itself.
The egg even devoured all the items on many stalls made the owners screamed in panic like insane foxes.
It only took a few minutes for the egg to devour all of those!
The countless black runes on the egg's surface became even more apparent!
The pure evil aura coming from the egg brought immense pressure to everyone in the Auction House and thrown the Auction House into chaos!
All the foxes inside the Auction House were haunted by fear and terror!
This huge commotion forced the higher up from the Auction House to come into the Auction to solve it.
A young man wore black clothes and a white robe entered the Auction House in hurry.
His face was somewhat stiff, cold, suave, and handsome, but his every movement was so refined and elegant. The majestic and heroic aura emitted from his body was like bones that had been polished with a knife, and like jade that was wrought by chisel and stone.
Perhaps even 'handsome' was no longer sufficient to describe this young man's perfect feature anymore, which could only describe as 'peerless'.
He had long silky white hair with a pair of bright obsidian black eyes. However, the freezing cold gaze from that pair of eyes could chase all the people away from approaching him.
All the staff in the Auction House immediately calmed down the moment after they saw the young man, and they respectfully bowed to him.
"Tell me exactly what happened here." The young man's cold voice resounded. It sounded very pleasant to everyone ears, but it also brought the irrefutable authority with it, made everyone unable to disobey it.
The supervisor of the Auction House approached the young man and told everything to the young man.
"The items in the Auction House mysteriously disappeared? Then what about this immense pressure and intense evil aura?" The young man frowned and asked again.
The supervisor of the Auction House shook her head since she really did not know anything about this.
"I understand. You can evacuate everyone out of this building first. I and my people will handle the rest." The young man waved his hand, and all the staff immediately moved to evacuate the people inside the Auction House.
The young man called one of his shadow guards and told him: "I have a bad feeling about this overwhelming evil aura. I suspected there is a powerful Undead Race's creature inside the Auction House right now."
"Ah?! A powerful Undead?! Then... then what should we do now, My Lord?" Even this fearless trained shadow guard felt panicked the moment he heard about the powerful Undead Race's creature.
"You can go now and notify all the Councillor Members about this! I will make my move first, but I am afraid that even I am still not strong enough to defeat this monstrous evil creature." The young man ordered his shadow guard with a stern tone.
"My Lord! This is too dangerous! I will notify all the Councillor Members, so please just wait for me to come back here with all the Councillor Members, then we can face this evil creature together!" The shadow guard begged the young man with a tone full of worry.
The young man shook his head and put the expression as if he was ready to sacrifice his life for the goodness and said: "I am afraid we don't have any more time. That evil creature gets more and more powerful every time it consumes something. I am afraid it will become too immensely powerful for us to defeat by the time of all the Councillor Members arrived here!"
"We have no time to waste anymore! Go now and quickly notify the Councillor Members!" The young man pushed his shadow guard away and entered deeper into the Auction House with the rest of his Shadow Guards.
"MY LORD!!!" The shadow guard shouted and almost cried in sorrow as if his master already sacrificed his life in order to save everyone in the Auction House.
"My Lord... Don't worry, I will carry this mission even if I must give up my life to do it!" The shadow guard shouted once again, and he sprinted out from the Auction House as fast as he could.
All of them were acted as if they were facing the strongest being from the Undead Race, but who knew that the enemy they extremely feared was actually only an egg...
Tonight was fated to be the restless night for all the foxes in the Myriad Foxes Academy.
Tang Li Xue who already arrived at the Residential Building and entered her room still did not know what happened.
She did not even have any clue that everything already blew out of proportion until it reached the scale which could plunge this entire Myriad Foxes Academy into the chaos and made all the highest authority in the Myriad Foxes Academy panicked.
If Tang Li Xue knew everything will become like this, she would probably rather choose to catch the glutton egg at all cost even if it already consumed many [Rare] grade high-level beast cores, and she needed to shoulder a heavy debt because of it.
